AT THE THEATRE.

Beatrice Lieb Makes Her First APP
pearance in Rock Isiand-A Fine
Performance. -"shamus O'Brien- To-
night.
Miss Beatrice bieb, young actress OF
talent, and great favorite in the east.
made her first appearance before Rock
Island audience last night. Though the
lady's home is in Dubuque, this Is her
first professional tour west. and while the
audience last night was small i'll numbers
it WAS appreciative. and should Miss
Lieb ever revisit Rock Island,
she will surely be greeted by a
crowded house. Wherever she has played
she has been kindly received, and critics
have united in saying good things about
her and in predicting for her successful
career. The acting of last evening JUS
liird the prophecy. She is above the
medium height. with supple figure; her
eyes are dark ana expressive, her features
regular. her face pretty aud full of
character, and her movements and man.
rers graceful and pleasant; her voice is
strong enough to express almost any
shade of passion, yet she is capable of
controlling it ard uttering the most ten
der and emotional tones.
The play last evening was Howard P.
Taylot's comedy drama, ''lnfatuation;'
play Astounding with emotional situa.
tions, some of which are somewhat overs
drawn. yet with a happy climax that puts
the audience in good humor before
going home That Miss Lieb is versa
tile, is msde clear by her skillful effect
i've and forceful assumption in the second
act. of the disguise of beautiful French
woman who is leading her husband
sstrav. At the conclusion of the third
act she was vociferously called before the
curtain. There is one highly effective
climax. in the final act, where Ole Som
erville recognizes her husband. 1t was in
| this scene that Miss Lieb rose above the
| piece and made it clear that it is not large
| enough to display her range. The sup,
p'rt was good, but not proportiOnately as
strong as the star
